Gun laws similar to poll taxes of old

Just as voting rights were restricted years ago by poll taxes and grandfather laws, gun owners' rights are being violated by similar laws.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns, ran by NYC's Bloomberg and Chicago's Emanual, forbid any handgun to be kept even in one's home without paying hundreds for a permit, just for one gun, that can take 10 months to process.

All firearms must be registered in both cities, and most modern firearms are banned outright. NYC also requires a "need" for a gun - a basic right. Because liberal elite mayors don't think most commoners should have guns, few permits are issued.

Crime isn't low in either city, because 5 of the "25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in America" are from Chicago and NYC. Anti-gun mayors discriminate against the poor with permit fees similar to poll taxes. The police are about the only ones they want armed, so are grandfathered in.
